About this lodge

Paul's Lodge is a timberframe spa nestled in the woods on beautiful Skaneateles Lake.
This property is a work of art. Guests who enjoy music, art, nature, spa relaxation, wine and fine furnishings will be attracted to Paul's Lodge.

Our Tram Carriage escorts guests from main floor deck to lake dock. ZERO steps to the lake! Mobility friendly property with just one step from driveway to Lodge and main floor bedroom/bathroom.

Highlights of Paul's Lodge

Spectacular timberframe home with grand forest and lake views. Two story great room with player system grand piano, fireplace, kitchen with granite and stainless. Outdoor living room with massive fireplace, flat screen TV, dining area and lake viewing areas. Wine cellar spa with hot tub, sauna, outdoor shower and massage table. Massage therapist eagerly available. Master king suite with sitting room, with linens, some robes and essentials included.


Paul's Lodge is care taker serviced. We take great pride in our properties.

Paul's Lodge is friendly for handicapped or elderly guests considering it is built into the side of a mountain forest. (not ADA specs but handicapped "friendly")

Paul's Lodge was carefully designed to serve the purposes of two seemingly different types of vacationers. With beds for 11 and a large indoor/outdoor living space on the main floor, the lodge is suited for large or multi family vacations, corporate groups, 'all girls or guys weekends' etc. On the other hand, the design is cleverly laid out to accommodate the small, intimate group that wants a peaceful, cozy respite on the lake. The Lodge is ideal for the romantic couple wanting to enjoy the fall leaves as well as the family vacationers. I believe we've pulled it off.


Come to Paul's Lodge. Relax. Listen to over 1000 hours of music on our player grand piano as you taste on of our eight Dr. Frank's award-winning wines. Schedule a massage night as your guests rotate about the spa equipment: hot tub, dry sauna, outdoor shower and massage therapy. Enjoy nature on our decks and patios as you enjoy the sounds and smells of the forest and beautiful Skaneateles Lake. And ride up and down on the Tram Carriage from Lodge to Lake. Live, relax and reconnect.

Note: Paul’s Lodge is accessed down a sloped forest gravel road and four wheel drive is required. (We have alternate parking suggestions for 2 wheel drive). You can expect the drive to be part of your adventure.

Our family enjoyed being together at the lodge for the week. Our goal was to try and stay all week without leaving to run around since we're from the area. And we were pretty successful, for the most part. The new tram was great for getting to and from the lake. The lake was beautiful, great for swimming and boating, and fishing. The Lodge was very nice. We enjoyed having a couple of fires in the outside fireplace and having all ten on us around the outside tables for dinner and games. The setting of the lodge is so peaceful making it easy to kick back and relax. All in all, we had a very good week, thank you,

Ok, to be fair it is more than a cabin. The property has a lot of amenities and we took advantage of all of them. Well located to use as a base for exploring the area. Also very comfortable for just staying in and hanging out with friends and family. Highly recommend and would happily stay again. Finally, don’t let the road scare you. We had an all wheel drive and had no problem getting in or out.

Great space in unique location . Travelling back and forth to SU for grad events was about 40 min but was worth the journey to have comfortable group accommodations. Loved the 4WD aspect.

After the initial shock of the driveway, yes 4 wheel definitely needed, we came upon the beautiful home. My husband, kids and their significant others and myself had a fabulous time rain or shine. The outdoor living area was perfect, lots of card games and dominoes and we enjoyed chopping wood and had a fire every day. Even during the storms and rain we loved being curled up, hunkered down by the fire. The outdoor shower was awesome. Cleaners probably loved us because our shower never got used. The hot tub was also wonderful and a must for us when renting and so easy to jump in the outdoor shower after. What a fabulous idea with the Piano Room!!! So unique and we took full advantage enjoying all the music while we were there. Also took some great videos rocking it out probably to my embarrassment. We highly recommend renting the pontoon. While we didn’t get to use as much as we had hoped we were glad to have it. The weather and water just wasn’t conducive for comfortable boating. We actually made the choice to turn around one day when hoping to venture to town for lunch. My son was a smart captain and didn’t want to take chances especially with his pregnant sister aboard :) We really loved the place and Mike made it very easy to check in and was very helpful. We hope to come back one day to take advantage of the lake and pontoon during the summer. Thank you for sharing your home Paul! ;) we counted 118 steps. Awesome workout each day!! Bottke Family
